Kim Mulkey: ‘You have to talk about complacency’

Following a national championship and a perfect 40-0 season, Baylor women’s head basketball coach Kim Mulkey told Mechelle Voepel of ESPN that her team needs to stay focused to keep that winning streak alive.

‘You have to talk about complacency,’ Mulkey told Voepel. “‘You have to talk about hunger.’

With Brittney Griner, Odyssey Sims and the nucleus of the championship team returning, other programs know that Baylor is a force to be reckoned with this year.

‘You definitely have them in your mind,’ Maryland coach Brenda Frese told Voepel. ‘You know at some point, to get as far as you want to get, you’re going to have to cross paths with them. I think they’re the clear favorite.’
